Info

The percentage of road surface roughness rated as good on State roads and the National Network continues to improve, with major routes such as the Hume, Pacifi c, Newell, Great Western and Mitchell highways all indicating improved performance. In particular, the improvement of the Pacifi c Highway refl ects the signifi cant level of investment in that route over recent years. FIGURE 8. RIDE QUALITY ON SYDNEY STATE ROADS FIGURE 10.

Over the past three years additional pavement works in the Sydney area have resulted in an improvement in the condition of roads. This focus will continue in future years and further improvements are expected. FIGURE 9.

Pavement durability on the rural road network has been relatively stable over the past fi ve years, and shows signifi cantly less poor-rated pavement than urban roads. The RTA has previously given priority to the weaker and more water sensitive rural granular pavements ahead of the urban asphalt roads made from manufactured materials. These urban roads are more resilient to prolonged rainfall than natural gravel roads. Urban roads are also typically lower speed, and therefore represent less of a road safety risk than rural high-speed roads. Following the recommendations of the Auditor-General, additional attention is being given to the urban network without diminishing the maintenance effort on the rural network. As road pavements continually deteriorate over time the RTA must rebuild roads to ensure that the road network is sustainable and to restore pavement conditions to acceptable standards. The RTA mainly rebuilds road pavements through its maintenance program but new works also contribute to this aim. FIGURE 13. REBUILDING OF ROAD PAVEMENTS ANNUAL PERCENTAGE 1.5 1.0 0.5 Maintenance program The Infrastructure Asset Management Program establishes priorities for maintenance work and replacement activities on a risk basis to support ongoing safe and reliable travel on State roads. Roads are one of the largest public assets managed by government. Carefully planned maintenance programs are required to protect the original investment in these assets to ensure their service into the future. Affordable service levels are prioritised across the various components of the road infrastructure and programs are developed in line with corporate maintenance program guidelines. Routine maintenance work is delivered through a mixture of external council contracts and in-house providers. Maintenance specifi cations set consistent minimum levels of service and specify requirements for identifying and rectifying defects, procedures and management systems for worker safety, traffi c control and safety, environmental protection and work quality. Achievements during 2008-09 included delivery of the $1.089 billion Infrastructure Maintenance Program which represented an increase of $103 million compared to 2007-08. Signifi cant program outcomes included: • Construction of 10 replacement bridges. • 1.66 million m 2 of asphalt surface replaced (3.9 per cent of the asphalt network). • 12.7 million m 2 of bitumen surface resealed (10.1 per cent of the sealed network). • 1.83 million m 2 of road pavement rebuilt and/or widened (0.99 per cent of the total network). 0 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 (Target) MAINTENANCE NEW PROJECTS The method of calculating the maintenance and new works contribution has changed. 1. Maintenance now includes the contribution to the pavement rebuilding from lane/shoulder-widening works. 2. The new method discounts the contribution from new works based on the remaining life of the pavement being replaced. The contribution of rebuilding activity from new works is dependent on the nature of projects undertaken in any year, and whether they involve rebuilding existing pavement, or provision of new infrastructure. Increased funding has been applied to pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction activities under maintenance since 2007-08.
